Americans that suffer form tinnitus, 12 million seek medical attention
each year.
?The ATA estimates that over 50 million Americans experience tinnitus
to some degree. Of these, about 12 million have severe enough tinnitus
to seek medical attention. And about two million patients are so
seriously debilitated that they cannot function on a "normal,"
day-to-day basis.?

?Tinnitus("tinn'- nit - us" or "tin - night - us"), or ringing in the
ears, is a common problem affecting about one out of every six people
in the United States alone (44-50 million people). About 10-12
million of these people experience tinnitus severe enough to cause
them to seek medical attention.?

?Tinnitus is defined by the American Tinnitus Association as ?the
perception of sound when no external sound is present, it is often
referred to as ringing in the ears. It can take the form of hissing,
roaring, whistling, chirping or clicking? (American Tinnitus
Association [ATA]). Thousands of people suffer from this same, often
disturbing head noise. It has been recorded that between 36 to 50
million Americans suffer from this problem. Of these ?about 12
million suffer severely enough to seek medical attention? (ATA) and "7
million are affected so badly that they can not lead normal lives?
(Casano). These numbers show that about 17% of the American society
is affected by tinnitus.?
